Ubuntu 5.10 / 6.06 LTS / 6.10 : libpng vulnerability (USN-383-1)

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description :

Tavis Ormandy discovered that libpng did not correctly calculate the
size of sPLT structures when reading an image. By tricking a user or
an automated system into processing a specially crafted PNG file, an
attacker could exploit this weakness to crash the application using
the library.
